Yeah the Mayan calender goes through a number of different cycles before it ends and restarts. Mind you it would restart under a different calender if they were still around but it would restart. They just say its the end because that's the day when the big calender ends.. But it had to end somewhere. I figure the the Mayans were just so far ahead they figured that they could take a century or two off before working on the calender again.

Religious nuts are so obsessed with the afterlife they forget to actually live their life.

Personally, I wonder when we are going to start using the New Byzantine calendar like in that one episode of Dr. Who.

Why? It was just a calender. All it is is the end of one age and the dawn of another.

So have had this laptop since February and recently began fiddling with the games that it comes with. Tried out Plants vs. Zombies and Monopoly. I forgot how dreadful the music in Monopoly is. It's been so many years since I played the game.
Blast from the past. Blast from the past makes me miss Acrophobia, Cosmic Consensus, and You Don't Know Jack. Ah the good ol days..
It's been years since I've had a tower. It might have been around five years now. We parted it out and sold everything a long time ago, but I still have only the case. I'm finally going to rebuild it and make use of the thing again. And it will be a hell of a machine.
I'm in need of an XP machine and my present laptop is Windows 7, so it won't run a lot of my older games like Neverwinter Nights. I've already tried it.

Has my emo friend tried running the compatibility mode for that game? If you right click on the game and go to properties you can change your current system to run it as a 98 compatibility.

Yes, your emo friend has, but it didn't work. I looked it up on the internet, the game just has problems working on modern computers, something in the coding just won't let it work.

Funny thing about anyone trying to use the Bible to predict the exact end of the world: The Bible says that even God isn't sure when He's going to decide to end it. He just will one day, and no one will know that it's coming until it happens... And ironic that those who claim to know when it's going to end probly aren't going to get into Heaven... Most religious nuts are going to Hell. 
On a lighter note: Y'know why the Arbey's slogan is "It's good mood food"? Because they can't say "It's good food" without that being false advertising!
Projection: If Intruder Organsim reaches civilized areas...

I on my end am just endlessly fascinated by how many people are HAPPY to imagine other humans being eternally tortured.
Says a lot about human nature.

May have to vanish again today due to weather related issues. I'm in the area of pretty much the highest rated risk area for very nasty tornadic weather.
